The slope, or monthly cost, can be found by looking at how the cost increases as the number of months increases.
From 1 month to 2 months, the cost increases by $25 ($99 - $74).
From 2 months to 3 months, the cost increases by $25 ($124 - $99).
From 3 months to 4 months, the cost increases by $25 ($149 - $124).
Therefore, the slope, or monthly cost, is $25.

Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's recalculate the slope, or monthly cost, using the given table.
To find the slope, we need to determine how much the cost increases for each additional month.
From 1 month to 2 months, the cost increases by $99 - $74 = $25.
From 2 months to 3 months, the cost increases by $124 - $99 = $25.
From 3 months to 4 months, the cost increases by $149 - $124 = $25.
Since the cost increases by $25 for each additional month, the slope, or monthly cost, is $25.
To find the slope or monthly cost from the given table, we need to look for the change in cost with respect to the change in the number of months.
Looking at the table:
Number of Months | Cost ($)
-------------------------------
1 | 74
2 | 99
3 | 124
4 | 149
To find the change in cost, we subtract the initial cost from the final cost. In this case, the initial cost is $74 (at 1 month) and the final cost is $149 (at 4 months). Therefore, the change in cost is $149 - $74 = $75.
To find the change in the number of months, we subtract the initial number of months from the final number of months. In this case, the initial number of months is 1 and the final number of months is 4. Therefore, the change in the number of months is 4 - 1 = 3.
Now we can calculate the slope or monthly cost using the formula for slope: slope = change in cost / change in number of months.
Slope = $75 / 3 = $25.
Therefore, the slope or monthly cost is $25.
